A few weeks ago London based photographer Andreas Schmidt invited other shooters to post on a dedicated facebook page their pictures of "lonely Christmas trees". Andreas has now put together a superb collaborative photobook work.
He writes: a must have book for any Christmas tree lover and photobook collector alike this book gathers the finest Christmas tree photographs by world renowned photographers and is undoubtedly going to be the best photobook 2012 in the Christmas tree photography category. No need to buy a tree anymore. Just buy the book.

About Me

My pictures explore the strange anthropology of cities. The unusual and overlooked in the human landscape.
I am asking the viewer to question the idea that photographs as documents are complete representations of subject.
I'm interested in the universality of life and the idea of parallel lives - when one thing is happening here, something else is happening over there. The democracy of non-places fascinates me, in the knowledge that inevitably nothing is as it seems.
I work and live between Auckland and Paris.
